1. This page shows St. Sebastian’ martyrdom and in its border pilgrims’ souvenirs.  These are badges sold to pilgrims at the site they would have visited.  They were sewn onto clothing as demonstrations of both piety and status.  Most are metal but one is a painted image of the Holy Face left by Christ on Veronica’s veil.  They are arranged on a mauve ground as it they are set in a shallow box framed by a thin wood molding; a similar molding seems to frame the image of the martyrdom with the prayer below.
